Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
In the second quarter of 2022, we contributed $154 million to our global funded pension plans. We now expect to contribute between $600 million and $700 million to our global funded pension plans in 2022.
Shareholder distributions were $407 million in the second quarter of 2022, all of which was attributable to our regular
quarterly dividend.
We previously announced our plan for the global redesign of our business, pursuant to which we are working to turn around automotive operations, compete like a challenger, and capitalize on our strengths by allocating more capital, more resources, and more talent to our strongest businesses and vehicle franchises. Beginning with the actions we took in 2018, we expect our global redesign to have a potential cash effect of about $6 billion through 2023. The cash effect related to our global redesign activities was $3.4 billion through June 30, 2022.
Available Credit Lines . Total Company committed credit lines, excluding Ford Credit, at June 30, 2022 were $19.3 billion, consisting of $13.5 billion of our corporate credit facility, $2.0 billion of our supplemental revolving credit facility, $1.75 billion of our new 364-day revolving credit facility (as described below), and $2.1 billion of local credit facilities. At June 30, 2022, the utilized portion of the corporate credit facility was $25 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit, and the utilized portion of our 364-day revolving credit facility was $750 million. In addition, $1.7 billion of committed Company credit lines, excluding Ford Credit, was utilized under local credit facilities for our affiliates as of June 30, 2022. Our $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility, which was drawn in full in 2019, was repaid on June 23, 2022 as described below.
Our corporate and supplemental revolving credit facilities were amended as of June 23, 2022 to, among other things, extend the maturity dates of the commitments under each facility. Following the corporate credit facility amendment, $3.4 billion of commitments mature on June 23, 2025 and $10.1 billion of commitments mature on June 23, 2027. Following the supplemental revolving credit facility amendment, $0.1 billion of commitments mature on September 29, 2024 and $1.9 billion of commitments mature on June 23, 2025.
Also on June 23, 2022, we entered into a 364-day revolving credit facility, with $1.75 billion of commitments maturing on June 22, 2023. This new 364-day revolving credit facility further strengthens our liquidity, provides working capital funding, and is intended to be utilized. On June 23, 2022, we drew $750 million under the 364-day revolving credit facility, which, along with $750 million of Company cash, was used to prepay the full $1.5 billion outstanding under our delayed draw term loan facility. The maturity date of the delayed draw term loan facility was December 31, 2022.
The corporate, supplemental, and 364-day credit agreements include certain sustainability-linked targets, pursuant to which the applicable margin and facility fees may be adjusted if Ford achieves, or fails to achieve, the specified targets related to global manufacturing facility greenhouse gas emissions, renewable electricity consumption, and Ford Europe CO 2 tailpipe emissions.
The corporate credit facility is unsecured and free of material adverse change conditions to borrowing, restrictive financial covenants (for example, interest or fixed-charge coverage ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and minimum net worth requirements), and credit rating triggers that could limit our ability to obtain funding or trigger early repayment. The corporate credit facility contains a liquidity covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum of $4 billion in aggregate of domestic cash, cash equivalents, and loaned and marketable securities and/or availability under the facility. The terms and conditions of the supplemental and 364-day revolving credit facilities are consistent with our corporate credit facility.
Each of the corporate credit facility, supplemental revolving credit facility, and 364-day revolving credit facility include a covenant that requires us to provide guarantees from certain of our subsidiaries in the event that our senior, unsecured, long-term debt does not maintain at least two investment grade ratings from Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P. The following subsidiaries have provided unsecured guarantees to the lenders under the credit facilities: Ford Component Sales, LLC; Ford European Holdings LLC; Ford Global Technologies, LLC; Ford Holdings LLC (the parent company of Ford Credit); Ford International Capital LLC; Ford Mexico Holdings LLC; Ford Motor Service Company; Ford Next LLC; Ford Smart Mobility LLC; and Ford Trading Company, LLC.
On June 28, 2022, Ford Motor Company Limited, our operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“Ford Britain”), entered into a £750 million term loan credit facility with a syndicate of banks to support Ford Britain’s general export activities. Accordingly, U.K. Export Finance (“UKEF”) provided a £600 million guarantee of the credit facility under its Export Development Guarantee scheme, which supports high value commercial lending to U.K. exporters. We have also guaranteed Ford Britain’s obligations under the credit facility to the lenders. On June 30, 2022, Ford Britain drew the full £750 million available under the facility. This five-year, non-amortizing loan matures on June 30, 2027.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Debt. As shown in Note 14 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, at June 30, 2022, Company debt excluding Ford Credit was $19.4 billion. This balance is $1.0 billion lower than at December 31, 2021, due to the repayment in full of our $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility, repayment of the remaining $954 million under our Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy, and scheduled maturities. These debt repayments were partially offset by the $750 million draw on our 364-day revolving credit facility and the £750 million ($908 million as of June 30, 2022) draw on our UKEF term loan credit facility.
Leverage. We manage Company debt (excluding Ford Credit) levels with a leverage framework that targets investment grade credit ratings through a normal business cycle. The leverage framework includes a ratio of total Company debt (excluding Ford Credit), underfunded pension liabilities, operating leases, and other adjustments, divided by Company adjusted EBIT (excluding Ford Credit EBT), and further adjusted to exclude depreciation and tooling amortization (excluding Ford Credit).
Ford Credit’s leverage is calculated as a separate business as described in the ”Liquidity and Capital Resources - Ford Credit Segment” section of Item 2. Ford Credit is self-funding and its debt, which is used to fund its operations, is separate from our Company debt excluding Ford Credit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Ford Credit Segment
Ford Credit ended the second quarter of 2022 with $25 billion of liquidity. During the quarter, Ford Credit completed $4.4 billion of public term funding.
Key elements of Ford Credit’s funding strategy include:
• Maintain strong liquidity
• Prudently access public markets
• Continue growth of retail deposits in Europe
• Flexibility to increase ABS mix as needed; preserving assets and committed capacity
• Target financial statement leverage of 9:1 to 10:1
• Maintain self-liquidating balance sheet
Ford Credit’s liquidity profile continues to be diverse, robust, and focused on maintaining liquidity levels that meet its business and funding requirements. Ford Credit regularly stress tests its balance sheet and liquidity to ensure that it can continue to meet its financial obligations through economic cycles.
The following table shows funding for Ford Credit’s net receivables (in billions):

Liquidity. The following table shows Ford Credit’s liquidity sources and utilization (in billions):
June 30,
2021 December 31,
2021 June 30,
2022
Liquidity Sources (a)
Cash $ 15.3 $ 12.4 $ 7.8

Other unsecured credit facilities 2.6 2.7 2.5
Total liquidity sources $ 56.3 $ 52.2 $ 44.6
Utilization of Liquidity (a)
Securitization and restricted cash $ (8.1) $ (3.9) $ (2.7)
Committed asset-backed facilities (11.3) (12.5) (15.3)

Total utilization of liquidity $ (19.9) $ (17.4) $ (18.5)
Gross liquidity $ 36.4 $ 34.8 $ 26.1
Asset-backed capacity in excess of eligible receivables and other adjustments (3.4) (2.8) (1.1)
Net liquidity available for use $ 33.0 $ 32.0 $ 25.0
__________
(a) See Definitions and Information Regarding Ford Credit Causal Factors section.
Ford Credit’s net liquidity available for use will fluctuate quarterly based on factors including near-term debt maturities, receivable growth and decline, and timing of funding transactions. In June 2022, Ford Credit used its excess liquidity to repurchase approximately $3 billion of its public unsecured debt securities maturing in 2023, reducing interest expense and near-term maturities. At June 30, 2022, Ford Credit’s net liquidity available for use was $25 billion, $7 billion lower than year-end 2021. At June 30, 2022, Ford Credit’s liquidity sources including cash, committed asset-backed facilities, and unsecured credit facilities totaled $44.6 billion, down $7.6 billion from year-end 2021.
Material Cash Requirements. Ford Credit’s material cash requirements include: (1) the purchase of retail financing and operating lease contracts from dealers and providing wholesale financing for dealers to finance new and used vehicles; and (2) debt repayments (for additional information on debt, see the “Balance Sheet Liquidity Profile” section below and the “Aggregate Contractual Obligations” table in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Company Excluding Ford Credit” section in Item 7 and Note 19 of the Notes to the Financial Statements in our 2021 Form 10-K Report). In addition, subject to approval by Ford Credit’s Board of Directors, shareholder distributions may require the expenditure of a material amount of cash. Moreover, Ford Credit may be subject to additional material cash requirements that are contingent upon the occurrence of certain events, e.g., legal contingencies, uncertain tax positions, and other matters.
Ford Credit plans to utilize its liquidity (as described above) and its cash flows from business operations to fund its material cash requirements.
53
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Balance Sheet Liquidity Profile. Ford Credit defines its balance sheet liquidity profile as the cumulative maturities, including the impact of expected prepayments and allowance for credit losses, of its finance receivables, investment in operating leases, and cash, less the cumulative debt maturities over upcoming annual periods. Ford Credit’s balance sheet is inherently liquid because of the short-term nature of its finance receivables, investment in operating leases, and cash. Ford Credit ensures its cumulative debt maturities have a longer tenor than its cumulative asset maturities. This positive maturity profile is intended to provide Ford Credit with additional liquidity after all of its assets have been funded and is in addition to its liquidity available to protect for stress scenarios.
The following table shows Ford Credit’s cumulative maturities for assets and total debt for the periods presented and unsecured long-term debt maturities in the individual periods presented (in billions):
July - December
2022 2023 2024 2025 and Beyond
Balance Sheet Liquidity Profile
Assets (a) $ 46 $ 75 $ 98 $ 127
Total debt (b) 36 61 79 111
Memo: Unsecured long-term debt maturities 6 8 11 26
__________
(a) Includes gross finance receivables less the allowance for credit losses (including certain finance receivables that are reclassified in consolidation to Trade and other receivables, net ), investment in operating leases net of accumulated depreciation, cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding amounts related to insurance activities). Amounts shown include the impact of expected prepayments.
(b) Excludes unamortized debt (discount)/premium, unamortized issuance costs, and fair value adjustments.
Maturities of investment in operating leases consist primarily of the portion of rental payments attributable to depreciation over the remaining life of the lease and the expected residual value at lease termination. Maturities of finance receivables and investment in operating leases in the table above include expected prepayments for Ford Credit’s retail installment sale contracts and investment in operating leases. The table above also reflects adjustments to debt maturities to match the asset-backed debt maturities with the underlying asset maturities.
All wholesale securitization transactions and wholesale receivables are shown maturing in the next 12 months, even if the maturities extend beyond second quarter 2023. The retail securitization transactions under certain committed asset-backed facilities are assumed to amortize immediately rather than amortizing after the expiration of the commitment period. As of June 30, 2022, Ford Credit had $127 billion of assets, $65 billion of which were unencumbered.
Funding and Liquidity Risks. Ford Credit’s funding plan is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control, including disruption in the capital markets, that could impact both unsecured debt and asset-backed securities issuance and the effects of regulatory changes on the financial markets. Refer to the “Liquidity - Ford Credit Segment - Funding and Liquidity Risks” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2021 Form 10-K Report for more information.
Leverage. Ford Credit uses leverage, or the debt-to-equity ratio, to make various business decisions, including evaluating and establishing pricing for finance receivable and operating lease financing, and assessing its capital structure.
The table below shows the calculation of Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage (in billions):
June 30,

__________
(a) Total shareholder’s interest reported on Ford Credit’s balance sheets.
Ford Credit plans its leverage by considering market conditions and the risk characteristics of its business. At June 30, 2022, Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage was 9.1:1, at the lower end of Ford Credit’s 9:1 to 10:1 target range.

Total Company
Pension Plans - Funded Balances. As of June 30, 2022, our total Company pension overfunded status reported on our consolidated balance sheets was $0.7 billion and reflects the net funded status at December 31, 2021, updated for: service and interest cost; expected return on assets; separation expense; actual benefit payments; and cash contributions. The discount rate and rate of expected return assumptions are unchanged from year-end 2021.
Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). We analyze total Company performance using an adjusted ROIC financial metric based on an after-tax, rolling four quarter average. The following table contains the calculation of our ROIC for the periods shown (in billions):

CREDIT RATINGS
Our short-term and long-term debt is rated by four credit rating agencies designated as nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission: DBRS, Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P.
In several markets, locally recognized rating agencies also rate us. A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the credit risk associated with a corporate entity or particular securities issued by that entity. Rating agencies’ ratings of us are based on information provided by us and other sources. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating agency may have different criteria for evaluating company risk and, therefore, ratings should be evaluated independently for each rating agency.
The following rating actions were taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022:
• On May 2, 2022, Fitch affirmed the credit ratings for Ford and Ford Credit at BB+ and revised the outlook to positive, from stable.
• On May 17, 2022, DBRS affirmed the credit ratings for Ford and Ford Credit at BB (high) and revised the outlook to positive, from stable.
The following table summarizes certain of the credit ratings and outlook presently assigned by these four NRSROs:

OUTLOOK
We provided 2022 Company guidance in our earnings release furnished on Form 8-K dated July 27, 2022. Our actual results could differ materially from our guidance due to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those set forth in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2021 Form 10-K Report and as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC.
2022 Guidance
Total Company
Adjusted EBIT (a) $11.5 - $12.5 billion
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (a) $5.5 - $6.5 billion
Capital spending About $7.0 billion
Pension contributions $0.6 - $0.7 billion
Global Redesign EBIT charges (b) About $1.5 billion
Global Redesign cash effects (b) $1.0 - $1.5 billion
Ford Credit
EBT About $3 billion
__________
(a) When we provide guidance for adjusted EBIT and adjusted free cash flow, we do not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP measures because, as described in more detail below in “Non-GAAP Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures,” they include items that are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty.
(b) We continue to review our global businesses and may take additional restructuring actions in markets where a path to sustained profitability is not feasible when considering the capital allocation required for those markets. Such actions may result in global redesign EBIT charges and cash effects in 2022 that are incremental to those set forth in the table.
For full-year 2022, we continue to expect adjusted EBIT of $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion, which would represent 15% to 25% growth from last year, and adjusted free cash flow of $5.5 billion to $6.5 billion, with a significant portion coming from Automotive operations.
Our guidance continues to assume 10% to 15% growth in vehicle wholesales from 2021 and assumes that semiconductor availability continues to improve. Our adjusted EBIT range assumes significantly higher profits in North America, collective profitability from other regional markets, strong but lower Ford Credit EBT of about $3 billion, and modest improvement in Mobility and Corporate Other EBIT.
Other assumptions include:
• Strong order banks and pent-up demand for our new and iconic products
• Continued strength in pricing, which includes the benefit of pricing actions taken during the year
• Commodity headwinds of about $4 billion, which we expect to offset with improvements in net pricing and mix
• Continuation of other broad-based inflationary pressures, now expected to total about $3 billion for the year, up $1 billion from our estimate last quarter, while we are actively looking at opportunities to offset increases
• Lower Ford Credit EBT reflecting primarily lower credit loss reserve releases, fewer returned off-lease vehicles, and more normalized credit losses. We also expect auction values to remain strong but to decline in the second half of the year as the supply of new vehicles improves

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP MEASURES
We use both generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. The non-GAAP measures listed below are intended to be considered by users as supplemental information to their equivalent GAAP measures, to aid investors in better understanding our financial results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying operating results and trends, and a means to compare our period-over-period results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted.
• Company Adjusted EBIT (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to Ford) – Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) excludes interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), taxes, and pre-tax special items. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it focuses on underlying operating results and trends, and improves comparability of our period-over-period results. Our management ordinarily excludes special items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Our categories of pre-tax special items and the applicable significance guideline for each item (which may consist of a group of items related to a single event or action) are as follows:
Pre-Tax Special Item Significance Guideline
∘ Pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses ∘ No minimum
∘ Gains and losses on investments in equity securities ∘ No minimum
∘ Personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix
∘ Generally $100 million or more
∘ Other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities ∘ $500 million or more for individual field service actions; generally $100 million or more for other items
When we provide guidance for adjusted EBIT, we do not provide guidance on a net income basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty, including gains and losses on pension and OPEB remeasurements and on investments in equity securities.
• Company Adjusted EBIT Margin (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Company Net Income/(Loss) Margin) – Company Adjusted EBIT margin is Company adjusted EBIT divided by Company revenue. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting.
• Adjusted Earnings/(Loss) Per Share (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Earnings/(Loss) Per Share) – Measure of Company’s diluted net earnings/(loss) per share adjusted for impact of pre-tax special items (described above), tax special items, and restructuring impacts in noncontrolling interests. The measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate performance of our business excluding items not indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. When we provide guidance for adjusted earnings/(loss) per share, we do not provide guidance on an earnings/(loss) per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of Company’s tax rate excluding pre-tax special items (described above) and tax special items. The measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting. When we provide guidance for adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide guidance on an effective tax rate basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.
59
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
• Company Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Cash Provided By/(Used In) Operating Activities) – Measure of Company’s operating cash flow excluding Ford Credit’s operating cash flows. The measure contains elements management considers operating activities, including Company excluding Ford Credit capital spending, Ford Credit distributions to its parent, and settlement of derivatives. The measure excludes cash outflows for funded pension contributions, global redesign (including separations), and other items that are considered operating cash flows under U.S. GAAP. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management’s assessment of the Company’s operating cash flow performance. When we provide guidance for Company adjusted free cash flow, we do not provide guidance for net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities because the GAAP measure will include items that are difficult to quantify or predict with reasonable certainty, including cash flows related to the Company's exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices (separate from any related hedges), Ford Credit's operating cash flows, and cash flows related to special items, including separation payments, each of which individually or in the aggregate could have a significant impact to our net cash provided by/(used in) our operating activities.
• Adjusted ROIC – Calculated as the sum of adjusted net operating profit after cash tax from the last four quarters, divided by the average invested capital over the last four quarters. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“Adjusted ROIC”) provides management and investors with useful information to evaluate the Company’s after-cash tax operating return on its invested capital for the period presented. Adjusted net operating profit after cash tax measures operating results less special items, interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and certain pension/OPEB costs. Average invested capital is the sum of average balance sheet equity, debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and net pension/OPEB liability.
